Tending Bar By The Tracks In Tupelo

This isn't the right name for the chord so I made it this:
Adim
E--0--
D-5--
G--0--
D-5--
A--0--
E-----
D D7 G Gm
D D7
It’s a long way to Jackson from this side of town
G Gm
It’s even further to Richmond if that’s where you’re bound
D E A Asus2 A
Most of these people have been hanging around for a while
D D7
The last train to Memphis long left the tracks
G Gm
And I’ve heard some folks saying that it done blew it’s stack
D A D
There ain’t nobody worried cause nobody’s coming back
CHORUS:
G E A Asus2 A Asus2 A
So blow, whistle blow
G E A Asus2 Adim
Blow, lonesome whistle blow
D A D
There ain’t nobody leaving tonight from Tupelo
Old Johnny Walker has lived here for years
And he’s seen his share of fighting, share of laughter and tears
But if he ain’t your speed, if you’d rather a beer I’ll oblige
You see I’m a creature of habit, but the habit ain’t mine
Some stranger rolls in from somewhere down the line
And he’s got to stay cause the last train pulled out for the night
Chorus
It’s a long way to Jackson from this side of town
It’s even further to Richmond if Richmond’s where you’re bound
So the first one’s on me cause you’ll be hanging around for a while
